Haha, fuckit. It was just an idea that popped up and I had to try. Not that hard.

[DRIVEN]

I was going to go out and move my pegs, but just stared at them for 45 minutes

That sounds like about half the time I spend in my shop.

Was in California for a few days. Tonight I got as far as removing the pegs.... then holding them for a while in different places.
Then I worked on my seat some more. Its.. ok, but not finished.
Cut out the suports that I put in the way of the chain. Bent some new ones. Welded in a cross bar
Tinkered around with a few shifter linkage ideas too

Thinking about a model a tail light, the driver side ones have a license plate light built in, I see them sell for 20$, and there already 6v.
Not the most original idea. But it is cheap, and easy, nothing set in stone yet, might just use a soup can and paint the inside red lol

This is the only headlight that has caught my eye so far.

I really dig the tail light.
Seems very fitting.

[RedBanner]

The one I got is a little different. But I found out I have my grandpas model t lights in storage so ill have to look into that.

[RedBanner]

Doesnt look like I did a whole lot. But I took everything apart, and welded in the rear supports (the vertical ones I cut out) cleaned up my head light and tail light.


The head light is a spot light off of a military fire truck built (the light at least) in 1939. Cost me 5 bucks.


It will work ok for me. Ill address it all later.
The tail light, I like alot more after pulling it apart and cleaning it.
It has "buick type a" stamped on it, but havnt looked into it to much.

[RedBanner]

It has a license plate light bulit into it.
The bars I got at the swap meet are to thick and I disnt like em after I putt them inplace.
I did clearence the suspention tubes to mount the stock ones better.
Then I took a bunch of pics after I put the stuff back on. Lol

You gonna run drag bars or some other style?

[RedBanner]
